Tasting notes
This vineyard is also in Barolo itself. A great cru. Traditionalist. They still crush some grapes by foot – ultra traditionalist! Based in Verduno – not one of the classic villages but there are some excellent crus there. Just 15 days' maceration and then aged in French not Slavonian oak. Some old barriques. Very dense but with a haunting nose too. Splits the difference between tough and smooth. Very seductive with the dryness of the tannins sneaking in only at the very end of the palate. You could actually enjoy this already! Lovely roundness. Franco Ziliani says it may be overripe and lacking complexity but lovely for Barolo novices! Very lively and open. (JR)

The 2004 Barolo Vigneto Cannubi is one of the stronger wines I have tasted recently from Burlotto. This medium-bodied Barolo reveals impressive depth in its core of dark red fruit, spices and sweet herbs. Fragrant and perfumed throughout, the wine offers notable poise and focus.

Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. This historic estate is based in Verduno, one of the lesser-known villages in the Barolo district. The Burotto Barolos are very quirky, fragrant wines with a level of herbaceousness that frankly I find quite distracting. Other tasters may feel differently, but these Barolos occupy an extreme position vis-a-vis the vast majority of wines being made today. Importer: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484
